a Remarkable Case.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. l7.-In
1871 Chauncey S. Barnes, a prosperous
and highly respected ,oung man Of
LAGRANGE County, shot and killed his
sweetheart, a Miss Dwight. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. Now he is a free
man, Governor Gray having pardoned
him on condition of his future good con-
duct. The circumstances of bis crime
were quite extraordinary. Miss Dwight's
mother opposed her marriage to young
Barnes, and the lovers would not marry
without her consent. One day, during
an emotional interview, the girl
exclaimed "It is far better to be dead
than to live this way" Barnes at once
drew revolver and shot her dead. fTe
then shot himself four times. Strange
to say, two of the balls passed through
his brain without killing him, and,
stranger yet, one of them is still lodged
there. He was given up for dead, but
after many months recovered. Since his
imprisonment he has been invaluable to
the authorities, keeping the records,
accounts, etc., and aiding in the control
of the prisoners. The Judge, all of the
jurors alive, and many prominent people
asked for his pardon. Barnes will so to
Michigan, where bis people live.

A Sad Scene in Court.

AUGUSTA, GA, October 22.-An ex-
tremely sad occurrence was witnessed
this morning by the attendants upon the
Recorders Court. It was the sudden
death of witness-Mrs. Emma Lokey,
Last night q dispute, which ended in a
fight, occurred between two Augusta
factory operatives, Hattie Lokey and
Lily Johnson. The two pugilists, togeth-
er with the witnesses, among whom was
Mrs. Emma Lokey, appeared in the
Recorders Court this morning for trial.
Recorder Dunbar was on the bench and
Lieut.. Twiggs acted as officer of the
Court. Mrs. Lokey vas called on as the
first witness and ordered to take the
Bible, which she did. Lieut.. Hood said !:
"The evidence you shall give in this case
shall be the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, so help you God. =
She kissed the Bible, gasped and fell
over on the floor dead. 1t was at first
thought she had only tainted from fright,
but when physician arrived he quickly
pronounced her dead. Her death was
caused from heart disease.
The business of the Court was sus-
pended until the body was removed,
when the balance of the cases on docket
were tried. The one against the two
women was, however, dismissed without
further investigation.

Rattlesnake Poison.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The reptile
division of the Smithsonian institution
this afternoon commenced series of ex'
periments designed to discover chemi.
cal antidote for rattlesnake poison. 1t is
authoritatively stated that whisky will
not be one of the antidotes upon which
experiments will be made.
Four large and belligerent rattesnakes
have been received from the Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, and a number OF
rabbits and pigeons are in cages and pens
awaiting martyrdom in the cause of sci
ence.
The method of securing the venom
from the snakes is simple, though proba-
bly, trife wearisome to the snakes as
we'll as dangerous to the investig gator. a
snake is seized just behind the head, and
when sufficiently excited small piece
of raw cotton is pushed into his mouth,
and into this his snake5hip strikes his
fangs to his hearts content.
The venom, an odorless, amber colored
fluid, is absorbed by the cotton, which is
afterwards soaked in glycerine, and in
this way a solution of rattlesnake poison
about 5 per cent. strong is obtained.
The subjects are inoculated with this
solution by means of a hypodermic
syringe, and the experiments just COM
menced at the Smithsonian are to dis.
cover some antidote which, applied to
the wounds, will neutralize the poison
and prevent fatal results.
The first antidote experimental with
will be one per cent. solution Of per.
mangate of potassia but the ingestiga-
ton will extend 10 many other chemi-
Gals.
The experiments made to-day and
those to be made tomorrow were design
ed to ascertain the exact amount of the
solution necessary to cause death. Next
week the experiments will be directed
toward the discovery of antidotes.

The Charlotte Chronicle says A new
religious association, to be known as the
Baptist Washfeet, has been organized
among the colored people. The church
is in the Sugar Greek neighborhood, four
miles from Charlotte, on the North Car
olina road. Rev. James Steel, one of the
leading lights of the new order, tells us
that it was organized for the purpose Of
carrying out the precepts and example of
Christ in the washing of feet.
=. Over four hundred suits for divoice
have been filed in the county clerks Office,
in San Francisco, California, since Janu.

by that petition is not recorded. Dur
ing the past three months there has been
a marked increase in the number of
divorce suits brought. ALI the civil de-
partments of the Superior Court are
crowded with cases of this character.
The cause of this remarkable rush to
secure relief from the bonds of matrimony
is ascri5ed to the laxity of the California
divorce laws, many of the applicants not
having resided long in the State.

After Thirty Years,

Quite scene took place at police head
quarters this morning when two brothers,
who had enlisted in opposite sides during
the war and who had not seen or heard
of each other for thirty years, met in the
guard house.
On last Monday the Record contained
notice of one Condy Bonner being
brought before the Mayor on q charge of
being drunk helpless. He stated that he
had come from Portsmouth, Va, and was
on his way to a rich brother in Georgia.
He pleaded eloquently for forgiveness
promising, if the fine was remitted, to
pursue his journey Immediately. He
also produced letters showing that he had
served in the Union Army. His Honor
suspended the fine for six hours. Having
procured quarter Bonner got on another
spree and was again brought before the
Nl0yor. This time he was cent down for
ten days.
This morning well.dressed gentleman
entered the guard house and asked for
Condy Bonner. The stranger proved to
be Captain Bonner, of Ellenton, S. c.,
who had gained his title by service in the
Confederate army. He was taken to
Condy's cell. The door 8as unlocked
and for several moments the two long.
separated brothers gazed at each other.
One was dressed in fine clothes and linen
and bore the air of wealthy gentleman;
the face of the other betrayed that be had
drunk deep from dissipation's cup. The
latter sprang forward, cry Of joy almost
escaped his lips-but, no he paused, his
features were saddened and his eyes fell
to the floor as the thought came over him
that he was not worthy of the man who
stood before him. Would that brother
deign to know him who had applied
shot and rebellious liquors to his b:ood."
and who, rambling wreck of poverty,
was now in jail?
Yes, and more! The newcomer sprang
forward, tenderly clasped him in his
arms, called him "brother," and the two
wept tears of joy to know that after thirty
years they were reunited.
1t was an uncommon incident, and the
prisoners around eagerly craned their
necks to see what was going on.
Captain Bonner had his brother releas-
ed and the pair went up street, where
clothes and food for the outcast were
procured. The brothers left to-day for
the Captains home, where warm vel.

5spanySh had secured a controlling ipterest
In the stock Of the Port Royal & Wes-
terL Carolina Railroad system. This
srumor, however, has not been confirmed,
hut it seems from the following article,
which ne take from the Augusta Caroni-

Mr.. M. A. Ransom, farmer in Aiken
County, S. O., has furnished the State
Department of Agriculture a report on
an experiment he has made this year on
one acre of Cotton. 1t shows what can
be accomplished with proper system OF
fertiliz., IN und cultivation.
The /. d on which the crop was made
was good pine land, with clay subsoil.
It was in oats last year, but has been
moderately we'll fertilized for several
years. The land was broken early in
March with a turn plough, running six
or seven inches deep. In bedding q six
inch shovel plough was used, followed in
same fnrrow with long bull-tongue,
breaking to the depth of ten to eleven
inches, planted on a low fiat bed and
"knocked Off with board. Good stand
was obtained. Chopped out in usual
way before running around" First
ploughing or siding was done with q cul-
tivator, subsequent ploughings with s
sweep. The general plan observed was
deep breaking and shallow cultivation.
The entire cost of producing the crop,
according 10 I'LL lLeiulLeu Stiteueut 1uI'
nished the Department of Agriculture,
including labor, fertilizers and average
rent of the land, was s54.02. The pro-
duct was 901 pounds of lint cotton,
which sold at nine cents per pound, Civ
ing return of $500, to which must be
added the value of the seed, fifty bushels,
at 20 cents, low price, S10.00-making
the aggregate return $91.09. Deducting
cost, S5402, leaves net profit on the
yield of the acre Of $37.07. Deducting
from the cost of production the value Of
the seed, it will be seen that the cost Of
growing the crop was less than 5 cents
per pound.
MIR. Ransom conducted the experiment
at the request of the department., and he
says in his report that while the result is
nothing wonderful, it is so satisfactory
S37 per acre proft-as to make it an ex:
ceedingly favorable showing for she in
tensive system Of farming, which he
thinks should be followed more generally
by our farmers.
